Friends in need indeed!
My friend Mike (see you got mentioned!) was being ever so nice to me after hearing the news that I was going for the snip (my tonsils!!!) and pointed me here.

However, it wasn't really out of the goodness of his heart (it started off with him complaining that he can't comment on my blog - I am now working to remedy that). He wanted to mock me over some of the good Doctors advice. Mike particularly found the following hilarious:
How long should you take off work? If you have a desk job, you may be ready to go back after a week to 10 days. If physical exertion is part of your work, I would be much more cautious than this. This also applies to resumption of daily activities. Anything that might tend to increase your blood pressure (exercise, strenuous chores, sex, and so forth) could cause a hemorrhage. Once again, discuss these issues in detail with your surgeon.

What Mike found particularly funny was the fact that sex is not a daily chore. Now in our house.... well I don't like to brag.... anyway for confimration of what I'm slyly trying to hint at here, talk to Jamie.
